Yup. I was the original owner. I can confirm everything Scott says on my end. I don't think it left my house two times. (I'm just not a 5 string guy anymore. If I can't do it with a D-Tuner on a 4 string I'm probably at the wrong gig.
)
I will mention a couple of other things about the bass.
It has a maple neck with swamp ash body wings.
There is indeed a piezo bridge on it.
Fretboard is ebony.
It really does have a HUMONGOUS range of tones.
I think the price Scott is selling it for is totally fair and someone should snatch it up.
One more bit of trivia...... I actually ordered this bass from the Carvin website exactly 5 years ago today.
